We don’t really know how but December is finally here. With it, there are also snow and a heartfelt breath of relief for the end of this year that it’d be a compliment to define insane. In the meantime, we can finally start to breathe christmas vibes, eat some pandoro and start choosing Christmas presents. And if the rush – for obvious reasons – is going to be just virtual, then it is better to know how to orientate ourselves in the wild sea of eco-friendly brands online. We have some recommendations for you.

I’m as out of phase with daily routine as a Rome - New York jet lag, it’s a fact and I have to thank too much anxiety and too much coffee for that. Exactly in this order. And I don’t want to sound patriotic but coffee is a personal issue, an essential good. Without it, I cannot accept any human interaction in the morning. For this Christmas, MOGI, a luxury italian coffee brand since 30 years, has thought about a selection of Christmas box and iconic packagings.
A Christmas Box with coffee that has been cultivated with a sustainable approach and two Luxury Tin Gift Box containing a fine design coffee maker and two types of biological coffee. Not to show how much I am impressed by italian style coffee maker but if you buy me a moka, (to mention a contemporary intellectual) my heart is yours, coffe first and then yours.
